Who equaleth the coward's haste, And still inspires the faintest heart; Whose lofty fame is not disgraced, Though it assume the lowest part.
If thou wilt but stand by my ear, When through the field thy anthem 's rung, When that is done I will not fear But the same power will abet my tongue.
Great God! I ask thee for no meaner pelf Than that I may not disappoint myself; That in my conduct I may soar as high As I can now discern with this clear eye; And next in value, which thy kindness lends, That I may greatly disappoint my friends, Howe'er they think or hope that it may be, They may not dream how thou 'st distinguished
That my weak hand may equal my firm faith, And my life practice more than my tongue
That my low conduct may not show, Nor my relenting lines,
That I thy purpose did not know, Or overrated thy designs.
I've searched my faculties around, To learn why life to me was lent: I will attend the faintest sound,
And then declare to man what God hath meant.
No generous action can delay
Or thwart our higher, steadier aims;
But if sincere and true are they,
It will arouse our sight, and nerve our frames.
